J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum J/30 Class Association Business Advertisement Rule Vote, October 18th, 2012

During the BOG meeting scheduled on 18 October 2012, a vote will be taken so the rules reflect either case 1 (Advertising Allowed), or case 2 (Advertising Restricted). Advertising restricted is basically the same thing the J/30 Class has now. This link is the ISAF Regulation 20 reference.

Case 1 - Advertising Allowed:
No changes required in class rules. Advertising becomes permissive on 1 January 2013 when the ISAF transitional period expires on 31 December 2012.

Case 2 - Advertising Restricted (similar to current rules):
The following paragraphs are added at the end of the Class Rules:

6.10 Advertising

6.10.1 Class rules prohibit the display of advertising, except as may be required by the Organizing Authority for class events in accordance with ISAF regulation 20.4.1.

6.10.2 Manufacturer's and Sailmaker's marks shall always be permitted in accordance with ISAF regulation 20.7
